This weekend's lineup is a little weird, I admit, but Oklahoma City does what she wants. And apparently she wants a Juneteenth festival headlined by a Grammy-winning rapper, solstice observance, dick jokes and fistfights.
Here's a handful of happenings to check out this weekend...
Juneteenth on the East Festival + Concert (psst - Lupe Fiasco is headlining!)
Sat. June 20 | 11AM til... | East End + Zoo Amphitheatre
WithLove Project has been filling the Eastside since Thursday with art exhibitions, panels, wellness events and community gatherings — all building toward Saturday's festival and a free concert headlined by Grammy-winning rapper Lupe Fiasco.
Juneteenth on the East festival takes over the block of NE 23rd St. between N. Kelham Ave. and N. Hood St. from 11AM-4PM. The concert at Zoo Amp that night is also free, but if you're planning to go to the show (doors 5PM), you'll need to RSVP ASAP. Here's the full lineup.

Summer Solstice: Welcome to Native America Celebration
Sun., June 21 | 5-9PM | First Americans Museum
It's the longest day of the year, but you can make it fly by with an evening of dancing, drums, hands-on fun for all ages, cultural presentations, food trucks, a Rez Rides Car Show, Barefoot Park and the kickoff of FAM's Night Market series.
As sunset approaches, you'll want to gather your people atop the FAM Mound for a proper solstice moment.

Stormy Daniels
Sun., June 21 | 4:30PM | Bricktown Comedy Club
Unfortunate political punchline Stormy Daniels is bringing her new "Unicorns in the Kitchen" tour to Bricktown Comedy Club on Sunday for an afternoon appearance. I thought her shows happened in strip clubs, not comedy clubs, but – to be fair – anyone who has seen Donald Trump naked surely has something funny to say.
If you're a yuckster and want to ask her about it yourself, the pre-show VIP meet-and-greet will run you $160.

Worlds Collide: Return of the Bricktown Brawl
Sat., June 20 | Doors 5PM, First Bell 6PM | 101 Oklahoma Ave.
Bricktown is usually where brawls end with bail money, but on Saturday night, the punches are sanctioned. Worlds Collide: Return of the Bricktown Brawl is bringing live outdoor boxing and kickboxing to the canal. Rain or shine, they say.
The card features a Boxing vs. Kickboxing Grand Prix and the return of Oklahoma fighter Lydell "Hackman" Rhodes. As of publication time, Reserved Premium tickets are sold out, but you can still get in the door for under $35.
